Spark Cloud Server hosting @cloud service provider

Hi,

I was wondering if I can host the Spark Cloud Server as a website (PaaS) @a cloud service provider or if I need really a virtual machine ( IaaS)?

Thanks.

I think the main consideration is the port for the CoAP communications…

The spark-server is two main components, a Spark API compatible web service for managing devices and a CoAP service for device communication…

The PaaS would have to have the ability to bind to port 5683 (by default)…

@developstuff Thanks. Probably the best way to go is IaaS =setting up a VM with my cloud provider, where I can manage everything myself.

You could always just make a shell script (or insert provisioning software here for a more complex setup) so that it’s at least repeatable…

Should be stupid simple as you mostly just need node.js

@developstuff many thanks.
